Review: TaylorMade Qi10 hybrids

TaylorMade Qi10 hybrids review

The TaylorMade Qi10 rescue range is going to make your life easier on the golf course. With three model shapes packed with technology to give you increased forgiveness, longer distance and better launch.

The First Look

The TaylorMade Qi10 rescues come in three head options and there’s noticeable differences between them all. The Max comes in an oversized head shape with a shallow face for maximum forgiveness. The Qi10 has more of a classic hybrid shape with a mid-face. The Qi10 Tour is the smallest in the range, with a more compact head shape and face.

The Tech

If you’re a TaylorMade fan, there’s no surprises when it comes to the tech in the Qi10 range. You have the old favourites with Twist Face and the Thru Slot Speed Pocket in the Qi10 rescues helping you get the most from mishits. The Qi10 and Qi10 Max both have carbon crowns, which frees up mass for optimal weight distribution and forgiveness.

They also both have the V Steel sole which gives you better turf interaction and better versatility. The Qi10 has internal split weighting and low CG giving you great distance and high launch. The mid-face height allows for easy launch from tight lies and off the tee. The Qi10 Max has rear-leaning perimeter weighting and ultra-low CG for higher launch and max forgiveness. A shallow face height allows golfers to hit it high from anywhere, making it super easy to use.

The Qi10 Tour is sleeker in appearance, featuring a deeper forged C300 face with a higher toe. This will give you a combination of distance, workability and versatility, with great turf interaction, something the best players crave. Internally, it also has heel-toe weighting which adds forgiveness in a slick and compact look. 

The bunkered Verdict

In a nutshell, if you struggle with the longer irons and want something easier to hit – you’re looking in the right place. I liked all three models as they are all quite different. The Qi10 Max is large in shape. If I had to compare it to something, it might be an old-style spoon club, which is no bad thing. The Qi10 Max is really fun to hit and packed full of forgiveness with tighter dispersion. Ideal if you struggle to get the ball in the air.

The Qi10 features more of a classic rescue shape but is ideal if you’re inconsistent with the irons and want the help of getting the distance you need. The distance and forgiveness is brilliant, and it feel smooth and easy to hit.

The Qi10 Tour is sleek in profile with more of an iron-like feel, that’s versatile and easy to launch. A great addition when swapping out your irons or updating your rescue.
